giving birth

i used to believe that babies came from he stalk. being quite interested by the idea of a giant bird brining a baby, i excitedly waited outside in the middle of the night when i found out my mum was pregnany. how disappoinyed i was when i saw the video of her in labor later on!! where was the big bird??

PEACE IS THE WAY, NO WAR!

When I was little I thought babies came form the rear end. I didn't find out where they actually come from until i was in seventh grade.Very sad.

I used to think that babies came from the moms belly button. I was such a dork.

I used to think that when women gave birth the baby would just come directly outta the stomach. Like the stomach would just rip open or something hehe.

For several years, between the ages of about seven and eleven, I believed my sister when she told me my Uncle Bob wasn't born until he was 21. I used to worry over how he lived inside her and about how she gave birth to him.

My Aunt is a family doctor, and once told me about a 29, that's 29 year old woman who came ot her with her first pregnancy.

So my aunt settled her down for a pelvic examination, and the woman was actingas if she was extremely uncomfortable. Finally, my aunt actually started to do the internal, and the woman leapt up, pushed her hand away, proclaimed, 'Not there Doctor!' and burst into tears.

It turned out that she had somehow been under the impression that babies were born through the umbilical cord, and the process of labour was the time when the cord extended out - much like an extendable staircase, or tje emergency slide on an airplane - from the belly button.

Some people need to pay attention in sex-ed.

i used to think that when a baby was ready to be born, the doctor pulled it out through the mother's bellybutton. kind of like how a clown pulled tied-together scarves out of their pocket or sleeve.

I believed that babies came out of our belly buttons.

When my little brother was about 10 years old he came up to my sister and I and asked us with the most seriousness if babies came out of the woman's butt. I think we laughed at first but then realized that he didn't know that there were other holes on the female body and seriously thought that babies were pooped out! We tease him about it to this day even though he denies ever thinking it!

When I noticed my mother's Cesarian scar and asked her about it she told me that was where the doctors cut her open to take me out but didn't tell me that wasn't how babies were usually born. I had also been told that it was once common for women to die during childbirth. Based on these pieces of information I decided that natural childbirth involved the baby clawing and chewing its way out of its mother, causing lots of damage to her and probably even killing her because it was just a baby and didn't know what it was doing, but this didn't often happen any more because doctors would almost always surgically remove the baby before it did that.

When I first found out that babies lived in their mother's stomachs, I believed that when a mother gave birth, her stomach actually popped open, allowing the baby to simply be lifted out.

I thought that doctors would climb into a mom's vagina to coach the baby out. Then the mom would have to push both out.

I thought that a c-section was when a bunch of doctors climbed in because the baby was stubborn. I was told that I was born by a c-section, and I felt so bad that I had caused her that much pain!

when I was young i remember just assuming that babies come out of your mouth, the theory being that babies grew in your stomach so how else would they get in or out? what puzzled me most was that i was told i was a big baby but my mother has an unusually small mouth.

When i was about 8 i thought wamen had babies through their anus.

I used to belive that my mum went to a special store and picked my brother and i off a shelf and had the blow us up to make us alive.

i use to think that babies came out of belly buttons...which is what most children though, but...my mother had this weight watchers key thing (the key to unlock your health or something like that). well, i thought that that key was to get my baby brother out of her stomach (she was pregnant with him at the time.) wow...i kept that key cause i thought that was funny.

Until I was about five years old, I thought that babies were born wearing clothes.

Anon

that babies were born out of your belly botton, it would just twist back up after the baby was born

Anon
